Double tracking the SSL from the IL state border to Michigan city means that travel times to/from Michigan City and Millenium Station is under 70 minutes, which honestly compares to car travel times to the further west and northern suburbs. This positions Michigan City as a bedroom commuter community. Considering the LCOL, much cheaper real estate costs, and the walkable downtown, I can easily see it becoming attractive to younger people who are first time home buyers and want a quieter pace of life, or even empty nesters looking for a deal while still having easy access to the city.
